Motivational Monday!
My daughter, who was home for spring break, asked me to join her on Saturday morning. She was headed to the gym and wanted to bring me as her guest and gym buddy. Even though torrents of rain were being violently unleashed from the sky, and we had 7 blocks to navigate...

“All exceptional people are, by definition, exceptions to the norm. If we insist on being ordinary, we can never be truly extraordinary.” — William Ritter Yesterday was the last day of work for our exceptional concierge in our apartment building. Her name is Carmen...
Me and the ESB
Last night we were up in the lounge of our building eating dinner and playing a fun game. The lounge overlooks midtown Manhattan, which is so beautiful at night. As I was looking out the window, I couldn't help but notice how much smaller the Empire State Building was...
Lima Beans? Yuck!
Last night, I watched two wildly different shows and both of them touched on hate. It wasn't the purpose of either show—heck, one of the shows was about food—but they seriously weighed in on why this isn't the way. Hate is never the way. I had a teacher in 5th grade...

Me First
One of the speakers I listened to last week started his presentation with this blanket statement: "I don't follow through for myself like I do for others." Don't miss this one, because it's HUGE! We follow through for others for so many reasons, right? We want to be...
Doubt Is The Enemy
I have been in Orlando, Florida at a conference for the past 5 days listening to some absolutely amazing speakers. The most well-known speaker was Deion Sanders, and I am going to get to him later this week. But today, I want to mention a speaker that you might not...
#SoftLife
The titled grabbed me: An Overachiever's Guide to the Soft Life—which was an article I spotted in ELLE Magazine and had to read. It had to be an oxymoron, right, like jumbo shrimp. The two don't go together, or do they? Fun Fact: #Softlife received over 1.4 billion...
